Inspections
Inspections in IssuesId are reusable checklists that produce signed, exportable handover packs. Build a template once, run it on every job, and export a PDF the client can countersign.
Templates
A template is a reusable inspection definition. Common categories:
- →Safety inspections — daily / weekly site walks.
- →Quality inspections — trade-specific pre-handover checks.
- →Pre-completion (PC) inspections — full handover sweep.
Each template has sections, items, and an optional pass criteria per item. Items can require a photo, a measurement, or a signature.
Running an inspection
- 01From the project, tap Start inspection and pick a template.
- 02Walk the area, ticking items as you go.
- 03For failed items, capture a photo and a note — IssuesId will create a linked defect automatically.
- 04Sign off when complete. Optionally collect a co-signature from the trade or client present.
If you go offline mid-inspection, your progress is preserved locally and syncs the moment you're back online.
Failed items become defects
This is the link that ties inspections to the defect register:
- →Tick Fail on a checklist item.
- →Add a photo, note, and trade.
- →A new defect is created, linked back to this inspection.
- →Closing the defect updates the inspection record.
No re-keying. No drift between the checklist and the register.
Sign-off and PDF export
When an inspection is complete:
- →Digitally sign with a finger or stylus.
- →Optionally request a counter-signature from the client.
- →Export a PDF pack that includes the checklist, all evidence photos, all linked defects, and signatures.
The PDF is timestamped and immutable — what you exported is what was signed.
Scheduled inspections
For recurring safety or QA walks:
- →Schedule a template to run weekly, per pour, or per level completion.
- →Assignees receive a notification when an inspection is due.
- →Missed inspections are flagged in the project dashboard.
